SafeHome is not so much a real place
as a destiny longed for
on our lifetime journey toward dynamic well-being,
too healthily robust to fear growing homeless and friendless.

SafeHome is not an unchanging Paradise,
statically without resonantly changing,
slow-turning nutritious seasons,
ups and downs,
ins and outs.

Such conservative stability, uniformity
could never be my red-blooded idea
of brilliantly resilient Heaven.

So, when Earth’s climate pressures,
internally and externally competing
to my point of ego-aggression,
notice chronic stress climbing up my back
and shoulders,
brain stem and frontal cortex
concerned about politically left and personally unself-righteous depression,

Some parents and cooperative school teachers
and classroom and bus aides and drivers
are discussing government regulations
restraining transportation providers
from providing therapeutic touch,
because of an over-compensation
for emotional dysfunction behaviors
leading to appallingly irreverent touch.

We seem to be heading in a direction
that would more positively hypothesize,
Despite past risks of exposure to toxic touch,
and apathetic untouch,
we do not want to restrain therapeutic touch
with our arms and hands,
our feet walking and dancing in cooperative solidarity,
stepping out rhythmically, together
with our voices of kindness,
mouths speaking and singing
with ringing patterns of kindness,

One of my daughter’s school transportation providers
learned therapeutic massage from a yogi,
Who began their first hands-on learning class
by reassuring those about to receive a student’s touch,
and those about to give their first intentionally focused massage,
that there is only one mistaken choice to avoid,

Massage, any form of verbal or non-verbal touch,
turns from therapeutic default
through toxic abandonment of communication, untouched apathetic restraint,
and also when too aggressive, much more so when actively violent,

Toxins,
nonverbally and/or verbally non-communicating counter-therapies
are Win/Lose neural neglect,
lack of therapeutic mindfulness,
to not touch by therapeutic intent at all,
whether with our WinWin intending hands
or solidarity voices
or any other of Earth’s neural receiving and giving
eco-therapeutic receptors.

So, I remind my daughter
of what the yogi message therapist said,
We only want to touch with kindness,
With our hands
and with our voices,
with our preferably dancing bodies
and our more therapeutically singing mouths
and signing hands
and signaling feet.

Her transport team listens,
laughs,
maybe a touch more relaxed
about possibilities for therapeutic WinWin touching
wounded Win/Lose dis-encultured students
on their often too-neglected journeys
in well-being life-skills
for enhancing healthy wealth resilience.

While us caregiving adults
continue to cooperatively talk without touching
among our comparatively privileged selves.

Cynicism and anger and fear and greed
are not as contagious
as hope and happiness and good humor and generosity
when these are as effectively
and consistently WinWin communicated
non-violently
as their darker bipolar cousins are not watered,
understood as too aggressive,
too competitively communicated
through uncaring aggressive actions and/or words,
behaviors and cognitive-affective belief systems.

WinWin cognition cultures and feeling climates
are more nutritionally contagious,
more politically and personally effective
than WinLose viral cynic contagion
when positive hope is supported
by a healthy cooperative personal
and environmental
therapy-fueling investment in co-ownership,
feeding eco-stewardship
because WinWin is our original nurtured experience,
our default birthright
while still immersed in a neural developing system
inside our individual EarthMother nutritional womb.

We each know WinLose cynicism about WinWin potential
is adolescently learned through growing egocentrism,

Positive and negatively viral
for the same reasons
we associate tears of happiness with hope
and tears of anger with despair,
personal and political,
egocentric and ecosystemic,
yang with yin,
left with right, co-passionate contagions

Doors opening polypaths toward internal peace
through restoring synergetic climate justice,
active democracy-optimizing health
of deep listening to learn
from both positive and negative humors,
door-keepers widely communicating in eco-logical voices
verbal and non-verbal and pre-verbal
health-hoping resilience,
creolizing political transubstantiation
of where we are most cooperatively knocking
seeking
investing.

Who we are
in our best health-wandering
wondering egocentric EarthLoyalist doorways
opening toward and for and with
each secular/sacred nutritional opportunity
humane/divine co-operating Left with Right
YangHere co-passioning YinNow
ego-strength loving eco-flowing doors
opening bilaterally alternative WinWin directive doors
erective windows
back and forth
up and down through original democratic memories,
images,
polypathic memes,
happy Open Sesames
into timelessly nutritious brightening light.

Another door opens,
sometimes slowly and quietly,
sometimes with an awesome terrifying YES!,
an exclaiming final point
within Earth’s fragile hoping soul.

Theistic
need not be an abbreviation for monotheistic rootedness,
but could remain androgenously agnostic
to include more widely pan-theistic
and more deeply suggest poly-theistic healthy wealth
nondualistic his/her-storied outcomes
strongly felt
and more flowingly thought
transparently and vulnerably outside
our own repressed RightMinds.
